Enterprise-owned Authentication System

Scenarios

You can configure the interconnection with an enterprise authentication system so that end users can use the system to perform secondary authentication when logging in to a cloud desktop using accounts and passwords through Workspace.

Prerequisites

  • You have purchased a cloud desktop.
  • The network between the customer data center of the enterprise authentication server and the VPC has been configured by referring to Getting Started of Direct Connect or What's New of Virtual Private Network.

    A random port has been enabled on the cloud desktop to connect to the third-party service plane. If the cloud desktop is also interconnected with the Windows AD, ensure that the Windows AD port does not conflict with the port of the authentication server.

  • The following information about the enterprise authentication server has been obtained:
    • (Optional) Domain name of the authentication server
    • Authentication server IP address
    • Access key (AK) of the authentication server
    • Secret access key (SK) of the authentication server
    • SSL/TLS certificate file in PEM or CER format of the authentication server
